Invalid license. Reason Code = Missing DLL NxCharacter.dll Error: 0x7E

I just downloaded Dragon Age :Origins - Ultimate Edition, getting the error Invalid license. Reason Code = Missing DLL: [NxCharacter.dll] Error: 0x7E

According to this forum I need to download PHSYX Drivers, I tried downloading them but they will not install saying that I already have a newer version of that driver. 

I have nVidia Driver version 368.81 for my GTX 970

According to the nVidia Control panel I have PHSYX installed, there is no PHSYX folder in the _Installer folder either. 

System Info:

Windows 10 Pro

nVidia GTX 970

    You need to either install PhysX from the game folder, (in my post directly above yours.) or from NVIDIA directly. 

    The game needs PhysX to be installed to run, regardless of the GPU manufacturer.

    Yes, as I mentioned in my message I have tried to install that driver, I get the message that the currently installed driver is newer than what you are trying to install.

    @frankthetank934 Could you please try uninstalling PhysX software from Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Programs and Features and then download/install that driver?

    Let us know how you get on!

    Yeah, I don't really want to do that, I am pretty sure this game just doesn't work with the latest PhysX version, I dont care though, I just downloaded Dragon Age Inquisition. Its better anyway. 

    Thanks though...

    The PhysX software for "Dragon Age: Origins" is in the  ">drive<:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Dragon Age Origins\redist" folder.

    But the game will also run with the newest NVIDIA PhysX software. If it doesn't run you should follow @EA_Kristi  advice, because then the PhysX software isn't properly installed.
